1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Alternative splicing is a key cellular mechanism for generating distinct isoforms, whose relative abundances regulate critical cellular processes. It is therefore essential that inclusion levels of alternative exons be tightly regulated. However, how the precision of inclusion levels among individual cells is governed is poorly understood. Using single-cell gene expression, we show that the precision of inclusion levels of alternative exons is determined by the degree of evolutionary conservation at their flanking intronic regions. Moreover, the inclusion levels of alternative exons, as well as the expression levels of the transcripts harboring them, also contribute to this precision. We further show that alternative exons whose inclusion levels are considerably changed during stem cell differentiation are also subject to this regulation. Our results imply that alternative splicing is coordinately regulated to achieve accuracy in relative isoform abundances and that such accuracy may be important in determining cell fate.
